The riffraff around the small Serah flew right over her head as she was focused on Zim, who looked a little surprised when she suddenly entered his cone of vision. She found his reply funny, with the whole 'I hear that all the time' shtick. The girl didn't have time to get another word out, though. The man she decided to bother quickly commented on her energy, and also disclosed a bit of info about their Framewerk. And Serah loved said info. [color=00aeef]"No way! You pilot one too?!"[/color] she burst out in astonishment. Their machines were practically the same from that rather vague description. [color=00aeef]"My Atty is also close quarters! It's uh... A little light, and I haven't quite nailed how to use the barrier yet, but they're also a melee fighter! Seems like we'll be sharing a role, huh?"[/color] Serah gleefully disclosed, feeling like it wasn't a big deal to share all this. Zim seemed to take his eyes off her though and talk with some other people, which left the small girl a bit disappointed. She carefully listened this time around, taking a step back at the same time.

Serah listened to pretty much everyone universally agreeing that they should be working together and not fighting each other, and while she agreed with it, the result was just a tad disappointing. She was really hoping to show off what she could do against everyone, not with them... Though this was fine in it's own way. Somewhere in all this, another girl walked up to the duo. She also had black hairs like the pretty one Serah spotted earlier, though this one looked a lot more... Rugged? No, that wasn't quite the word. Whatever, the lady wasn't as pretty. That's all it came down to in the little girl's mind. She noticed they were interested in melee framewerks as well. [color=00aeef]"I know, right? I wouldn't part ways with Atty's fighting style for the world, even if it's a little risky. If I can fight for you all up ahead, they won't need to attack those in the back!"[/color] she stated, and it was directed at Katya. Serah liked this person already, and scuttled a little closer to them. [color=00aeef]"You piloted Caretaker, right? I got briefed on that one!"[/color] she excitedly shared. [color=00aeef]"It takes a lot of compassion to pilot something like that framewerk... I bet you're great."[/color] the girl commented, with a hint of jealousy in her voice.

Serah perked up her nose when she overheard Harold drumming off about something, though she already forget that guy's name. Weren't they the one who asked everyone how old they were? Ah, whatever. Minute details. Turning her head to the man, the bluenette listened a little half-heartedly. More of the same stuff about teamwork, really, which was getting old by now. [color=00aeef]"Ugh... Yeah, I get it..."[/color] she mumbled, trying not to have anyone overhear. The girl took a few steps back into the middle of the room, getting a good look of everyone again. Man, aside from Sigma and Elora, everyone was so very obviously older. ...And even then, Serah still looked younger than she was. [color=00aeef]"Muuu..."[/color] they whined, trying not to have people notice. She then straightened herself out again. [color=00aeef]"Erm, guys? The fight is important and all, and I don't mind talking about it buuuut... We're all new here, and don't really know much of each other. Why don't we get to know each other a little better first? Know your allies before your enemies or something, right?"[/color] she suggested, a smile on her face. [color=00aeef]"I'll go first! As I've said, I'm Serah, and I play cards in my free time. I know just about every card game in the universe, so you'd never have to explain the rules to me twice! I'm also a fan of the pop singer Utau, and come from the Hyvura academy on planet Dylia, before I got pulled away to train as a framewerk pilot."[/color]

Serah noddded to herself after that, feeling content. This would surely not backfire on her, right?
